nah, wouldn't use pots, as you have to have 3 heating vessels. Way better to stick with 2 x 10 gallon picnic coolers as they stay at the same temp..
Use just one pot then..

I don't suppose you know someone that has a couple? ;)
Or the other thought is a chillybin mash tun...

@Nathan I did the decoction brew the other day. Little bit extra work but all seemed to go well. The wort was a deep brown colour. Have done the malt balance before and the wort wasn't quite so deep coloured. OG 1060 and happily doing its thing in the fermenter. Looking forward to the tasting ;-)

Will PM you Peter and exchange details...might swing by one day soon and meet you ;)

YAY! Getting ready to do my first brew (well overdue and long awaited) in six months now life has settled down again...phew! Bit of a crack at a pale ale to try something new, going to be using cascade and motueka for this one but yet to formulate the hops additions. Thanks again Peter for picking that grain up for me ;)

Go hard mate :-)

Yikes....plugged that grain bill into Brewmate and even with my low efficiency it shows as 1.069! Think I have a good mix of hops with cascade at 60 then a mix of cascade/ moueka at 10, 5 and 0. Oh well...time will tell..

ha, yer think you're suppose to be around 1.050 for a pale for 20-30 IBU..
1.25 qt. of water per lb of grain for mashing
Think you only have to do 60, 15 and 0 for pale..
ha man did one other day forgot to recirculate and only got 1.04 instead of 1.05. Didn't have enough water either! lol
I'm ready for the next meeting. got 2-3 new beers :o

Haha...easy to make mistakes. All part of the learning process.
Looks like i'll get more than my 23l with this one then...already realised it was going to be too high so needs some rejigging before he morning.
Yup...must start planning the next meet!

Doh! False start this morning. Busy getting ready heating up mash water so it could do its thing while I went to town for lunch....but can't find my thermometer!!! Damn sister was last one to use it to try to sous-vide some whole eggs (which were really cool) Oh well....have a new bigger thermometer now and mash is doing it's thing. Those laundry bags are awesome Peter...heaps of room for 7kg grain
